Nottingham.... the finale!

As some of you may already know, I'll be leaving Nottingham for good very soon. Although I'm going to miss it (and of course, the people in it!) very much, it's sorta bittersweet for me too as I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my oh-so-boring life...

My parents have just returned home, after coming to attend my Graduation Ceremony (sob, I'm not a student anymore!) and even though there were ups and downs, I still miss them dearly. I'm very lucky that my parents are very supportive, both emotionally and of course, financially! My graduation present from them was a lovely and wonderful tour of Greece! It was absolutely wonderful to be immersed in such great history and culture that it was worth every drop of sweat! (and there were many droplets, mind you, considering it was 39 degrees celcius everyday!)

Anyhoo, I'd put up my Grecian pictures next time but for now, here are some pics of our time in Nottingham, both pre-grad and of course, on graduation day!

My mum forced us to go to Sherwood Forest! It was very wet and muddy..

.

Robin Hood and Maid Marian? Oh, and of course, the bronze statues looked good too.. ;)

.

My dad's favourite restaurant - the Carvery.. Toby's actually!!

.

Camwhore moment in the Carvery!

Saying goodbye to my house.. so sad!

OK, next up, will be pictures of my Graduation Ceremony of course! It was a rainy day, unfortunately, so we had a rather wet ceremony.. Nevertheless, my parents seemed really happy so it was all worth it. For me, it wasn't as exciting as I'd hope.. I think it was cos' this is the second time around (I graduated 2 years ago with my Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Hons).. see here) and also because it just didn't feel earth-shattering, life-changing etc. (even though it was! I'm no more 'Miss', I'm 'Dr'.. of course, I'm not going to stop using 'Miss' because I'm absolutely obssessed with keeping it!) The main good part for me was all the pictures!!!

My parents & me.. d'oh!

.

This is my favourite shot of the bunch... the Power Couple! Don't we look like we're headed to Wall Street?

.

Miss today, Dr tomorrow!

Ok, random shot.. but the flowers were so pretty!

Dad was so proud of his new hat!

It could've been such a pretty summers' day..

.

Ok, this is my absolute favourite shot of them all!

.

All in all, it was a generally happy day.. My only sadness is that I was smiling way too widely in most my pictures, making me look like an over-happy fool! Sighh.. what to do? Anyway, that's all for now.. watch out for next time, with pictures from Greece and of course, my Hungarian holiday!
